Ironically as long as you don’t get a fast bike first you’re probably better off starting riding later. You’re more likely to ride safer because that whole danger seeking trait will have worn off.
I started riding at 23 years old and it’s a miracle I survived. A young guy can buy a bike that does 0-60 in supercar territory for less than the price of a 15-year-old Honda Accord.

Closest I’ve found is she went deaf and blind “in early childhood” which is a very vague term.

Yeah I was a blackout drunk for a couple years straight to the point where it rewired my whole personality. I hated being told what I did the night before. I never remembered, and it was always something horrible.
